Today, guest author Jackie G. Williams is here to promote her recent release, Courting the Reaper. I asked her to share a little about the inspiration behind the collection, and the following is her response.

Courting the Reaper is a bumper book of short stories and novelettes, with some illustrations added for effect. Each story either originated from a dream or something said that I've embellished. As a child my father told me ghost stories, I loved them, and laughed to see the horror on my mother's face. My father passed when I was eight, but his memory lives on in his tales. Courting the Reaper is a collection of my favourite works to date. A mixture of creepy, cruel and gruesome characters, all different in their surroundings. I often wonder how people would react in an end of the world scenario, and what would happen in an apocalypse. It's all scary stuff. This book is an outlet of my imagination. Written for kindred souls.

More about the collection:

Courting the Reaper is a collection of creepy, cruel, gruesome characters you don't want to meet in your worst nightmares. Check under your bed, settle back and prepare for the chilling hand of the Reaper on your heart. You've been warned.
